Bible Note: Steve, Paul most definitely was the leader, being a minister to the Gentiles. Here's more to consider: Enoch, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Elijah, Elisha, John the Baptist, Andrew, and John the apostle, who is also called 'the elder'.. Where is there any mention of their wives, since they were so prominent in leading Israel and the church? These were all single men, unless you can prove me wrong. Would each one of these be qualified to be a pastor/deacon/bishop/elder in a church? |
